Red Dead Redemption 2 - how to get the perfect skin

Hunting in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a whole science that requires certain knowledge. If you have studied the crafting menu from an underground merchant, hunter, or sellers from a gang camp, you have already understood that the only thing you need to pick up is the perfect skins. Below we explain how to get them.

When you aim at any animal, you can see their quality rating corresponding to the quality of the skins they receive:

• Star : poor quality.
• Two stars : good.
• Three stars : perfect.

Since you are striving for the perfect skin, you need to kill the appropriate animals. However, the destruction of an animal with three stars does not guarantee a perfect skin. As for the rest of the skins, they can be sold for cash, but they are unsuitable for crafting.

But first, we will tell you about a wonderful way that allows you to bypass various restrictions. Find a special trinket and it will increase the quality of the skins you get!

How to improve the quality of skins with a trinket

An antler can be bought from an underground merchant, but only after you sell him the legendary antler of this animal. The presence ofWhich trinket in the bag automatically increases the quality of the skins by one position. That is, you will receive skins no worse than good ones. If bad falls out, it automatically becomes good, good - ideal.

How to get the Antler Bauble:

1. Sell the Legendary Deer Antler to an Underground Trader or Hunter.
2. To find it, go west from the Great Valley in West Elizabeth. The dollar sign should appear on the map.

After that, just buy a trinket.

How to get clean kills

Only clean kills will allow you to get the perfect hide. For example, if you shoot a rabbit with a shotgun, you can hardly count on a good result. The situation is similar with other animals. If you use weapons with inappropriate ammunition, then you simply mutilate the game.

All animals can be divided into several categories in size:

• the small ones are rats, bats and tiny birds;
• moderate - hares and eagles;
• medium - pigs and mountaincats;
• large - wolves, punters and goats;
• massive - moose, bears and bulls.

Below we describe what ammunition and weapons to use against animals, depending on their size, in order to make a clean kill.

Weapons and ammo for clean kills

Small Animals :

• Bow: small arrows.

Moderate sizes :

• Rifle "Varmint": regular cartridges.

Medium :

• Repeater: all types.
• Bow: normal and poisoned arrows.
• Sniper rifle: all types.

Large :

• Rifle: all types.
• Bow: normal and poisoned arrows.
• Sniper rifle: all types.
• Shotgun: Slug ammo.

Massive :

• Rifle: all types.
• Bow: normal and poisoned arrows.
• Sniper rifle: all types.
• Shotgun: Slug ammo.

Anything larger than rabbits, badgers, and armadillos requires regular and poison arrows, moderate sizes require a Varmint rifle, smaller ones require a bow with small arrows. Use the weapons listed above on animals withthree stars (or two if you have the Antler bauble), which guarantees a perfect skin.
